[ Someone Once Said ( I WELCOME YOUR BOO’s,
BECAUSE I’ve SEEN WHAT YOU CHEER FOR! ) ]
[ For Those Who Looks To Walk In Your Shoes ]
[ I Chose To Not Answer Your Knock @ My Front
Door ]
[ Everyone Is Entitled To The Freedom Of Speech ]
[ But Sometimes Their Words Overreach ]
[ Of What & Who It Was Intended ]
[ But When People Get Offended ]
[ The Conversation Cannot Be Pretended ]
[ Like The Words, Were Never Said ]
[ Sometimes They Get Embedded ]
[ In Another Persons Head ]
[ In Their Memories Or In Their Thoughts ]
[ Making Them See Stripes ]
[ & Polka Dots ]
[ You Can Have Your Rights Of Saying Words ]
[ But I Have The Right To Have My Own Perception ]
[ Of What I Just Heard ]
[ We Are Here Right @ This Point In Our Lives ]
[ Because Of What We Heard, Did, Saw Or Said In Our Past ]
[ But Sometimes Your Internal Drive ]
[ Makes You Go Too Fast ]
[ To Where They Miss The Points In Conversations ]
[ Then They Have Some Reservations ]
[ Because What They Want To Do Is Make Corrections ]
[ Some Things Said Cannot Be Corrected ]
[ Or Be Connected ]

(072)▪︎[ Back To A Norm … 1•20•2021 ]
[ In An Attempt To Get Back To Some Form ]
[ Of Norm ]
[ Will We Have To Make Everyone Conform? ]
[ That Would Make Me Scream ]
[ If All Of This Past Month ]
[ Been Part Of Someones Wet Dream ]
[ This, In No Kind Of Way ]
[ Has Been A Couple Of Good Days ]
[ There Was A Day Of Extreme Violence ]
[ Trying To Bring The Voices Of Washington D.C. ]
[ Into A Vote For Silence ]
[ They Brought A Riot That Began In The Street ]
[ Into The Senate ]
[ To Look For Some Democratic Senators To Beat ]
[ They Found A Cop ]
[ & Knocked Him Off Of His Feet ]
[ They Beat Him With A Fire Extinguisher Of All Things ]
[ That Brought Back The Thoughts Of A Very Hard Day ]
[ Where The Memories Really Stings ]
[ & Then I Know What Those Memories Brings ]
[ They Bring The Day Back ]
[ Of The Riot ]
[ & The Attack ]
[ In The Form Of A Very Bad, Realistic Flashback ]
[ They Could Be Short In Time Or Very Long ]
[ The Length Of Them Would Be Based On How Strong ]
[ They Are ]
[ Either Way, It Is Not A Fun Experience To Go Through ]
[ & Many Of You ]
[ Would Think That Way Too ]
[ If You Were In The Position I Was In Clear Back On That
Day, In August Of 2002 ]

(063)▪︎[ Two Totally Unfit Mothers … 1•17•2021 ]
[ As The Light Fades In My Eyes ]
[ I Try To Run From All Of The Lies ]
[ The Lie That The Future Looks Bright ]
[ & The One That If I Live A Good, Law Abiding Life ]
[ Things Would Turn Out Alright ]
[ That Is One Lie After Another ]
[ It Started When I Was Given Up By My Mother ]
[ Parents Are Supposed To Love & Protect ]
[ As A Baby ]
[ Wouldn’t That Be The First Thing I Should Expect? ]
[ & Get ]
[ She Did Not Leave A Note Or A Positive Comment ]
[ After She Went To Court ]
[ & Signed Those Documents ]
[ All That She Wanted To Do Is Run ]
[ She Didn’t Want To Be My Mom ]
[ She Just Wanted To Be Done ]
[ Then What Did Fate Bring? ]
[ The Next Mom, Did The Same Thing ]
[ Not The Same Way, But It Had The Very Same Result ]
[ That Barbara ]
[ Kicked Me Out Of Her Life Because Of A Made Up
Insult ]
[ She Literally Kicked Me Out Of Her Life Right Then! ]
[ As Soon As She Told Me To Get Out Of Her Life ]
[ I Literally Knew When ]
[ She No Longer Wanted Me In It ]
[ I KNEW ]
[ Right @ That Minute ]
[ She Was So Sure ]
[ So I Had Zero Words To Say To Her ]
[ I Told Myself ( ONCE THIS EXILE BEGINS ) ]
[ We Would NEVER Talk Again ]
[ First It Was A Piece Of Paper ]
[ Now It Is A Phone Call ]
[ Neither One Was Done As A Favor ]
[ Maybe It Was A Favor That Turned Out To Be For
My Benefit ]
[ If I Was To Look Up The Definition Of ( MOTHER ) ]
[ Neither One Of Them Were A Fit ]
[ Not Even A Little Bit ]
[ I Hope Both Women Really Suffered Physically &
Mentally Before They Died ]
[ Because If Either One Said That They Were EVER A Good
Mother To Me ]
[ … They LIED!! ]

[ Lies, Lies, Lies ]
[ Told To Me, Directly To My Wide Open Eyes ]
[ People Saying That They Are Being Completely
Honest ]
[ Some Saying That What Are Doing Is For The Best ]
[ For Who? ]
[ Is It For Them? ]
[ Or Is It The Best Thing For You? ]
[ It Is Always What Is Best For Themselves ]
[ Everyone Else ]
[ Can Go To Hell ]
[ When Everything Is Said & Done ]
[ 9 Out Of Every 10 People ]
[ ALWAYS, I Mean ALWAYS Looks Out For Number 1 ]
[ When People Look In The Mirror ]
[ They Only Love Who Is Right Here ]
[ Reflecting Back ]
[ Sympathy ]
[ & Empathy ]
[ Are Two Huge Things That Most People Lack ]
[ But They Sure Expect It From Others ]
[ & Not Just From Their Mothers ]
[ Selfish, Self-Centered & Demanding ]

[ Sometimes The Pain Inflicted On Your Heart Gets
To Be Close To Be Unbearable ]
[ & Then The Hollow Words Seem To Be Given Like They
Are Charitable ]

[ How Many Turns Of Your Cheeks Should Happen In A
Single Day? ]
[ Nothing Hurts You More Than Love That Was Lost ]
[ You Really Underestimated The Total Cost ]
[ It Was Never Monetary ]
[ The Love Loss Was Not Momentary ]
[ A Punch To The Head Would Hurt Alot Less ]

[ This Behavior Is Only Directed @ You ]
[ It Is Not Directed @ Others ]
[ He Does Not Do This With His Grandparents Or Mother ]
[ Just Like When The Topic Of Conversation Centers On
You ]
[ That Is His Cue ]
[ To Be Abrupt ]
[ Then Quickly Interrupt ]
[ & Change The Topic ]
[ To Something That He Wants To Pick ]
[ The Number Of Times That He Has Been Such The Dick ]
[ Really Makes Your Stomach Sick ]
[ When Did This Start, When Will It Stop? ]
[ When Will The Other Shoe Drop? ]

Are In ]

[ & Asked About The Lessons That Were Taught? ]
[ Has Your Efforts Been All For Naught? ]
[ It Has Never Been Clear ]
[ Where The Relationship Goes From Here? ]
[ Is There Anything To Salvage Of This Relationship? ]
[ On The Big Screen Of Life Will It Just Be A Blip ]
[ Will It Just Be A Bunch Of Bad Memories In Time? ]
[ A Few Words In A Rhyme? ]
[ Everything Is All Up In The Air ]
[ Will There Be Any Reasons Left To Care? ]

[ My Path Back To Fullfillness Has Never Been
All That Clear ]
[ When I Came To A Fork In The Road I Thought
I Turned In The Right Direction ]
[ Using Hindsight ]
[ I Would Have Made A Correction ]
[ I Thought Going Left Was Good ]
[ Maybe My Brain Misunderstood ]
[ The Bright, Yellow, Yield Signs ]
[ Plus, When I Looked @ The Left Side ]
